Gosset Celebris Vintage 2008 Rosé

Champagne Gosset based in Aÿ is the oldest wine house in Champagne (1584). Since 1993, the business has been in the ownership of the Cointreau family. Gosset are the proud owners of Grand Cuvée vineyards and source their grapes from a network of growers in Premier and Grand Cru vineyards. The Gosset wines are matured for much longer than legally required, which, along with the suppression of malolactic fermentation, helps to create the wines’ distinctive depth of flavour.

A Great Wine before being a Great Champagne. This exceptional cuvée is distinguished by its rarity. This vintage is only the fourth edition of Gosset Celebris Rosé in the past 25 years, after the Celebris Rosé 1998, 2003 and 2007.

It is a limited edition of 15,000 bottles. Time is part of the essence and personality of Celebris. It contributes to the expression of the style of this confidential cuvée.

Strawberry jam lifted by a spicy (black pepper) and menthol touch, lingering on with ripe summer fruits (peach, nectarine, apricot).

A full-bodied tautness, with accords of ripe black cherry shot through with a blood orange note that provides a flash of enticing tangy freshness. The blend is dominated by an iodic, salty finish reminiscent of the mineral crispness of the Chardonnay.
